Team India's disappointing performance continues in the ongoing ODI cricket series between India and Sri Lanka. The host Sri Lankan team did not let Team India achieve the target of 241 runs in the second match as well. In the first match, when Team India was moving towards victory, the host team tied the match by bowling brilliantly.
After this, in the second match also, the host team bowled out the Indian team for 208 runs. Sri Lanka won this match by 32 runs and took an unassailable 1-0 lead in the series. What are the 3 big mistakes made by Team India under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, which the team will have to correct in the last match.
Defensive batting
Sri Lanka's spin bowlers are making the ball turn on the pitch. Team India adopted an aggressive strategy in the T20 cricket series against Sri Lanka and also dominated the match against Sri Lanka. But in the ODI cricket series, Team India seems to be playing more defensively. Apart from captain Rohit Sharma, all the batsmen are playing defensively instead of aggressive batting. Due to which Sri Lankan bowlers are dominating the match. Due to this, in the second ODI match, Sri Lankan bowlers took 5 wickets of India through LBW.
Spin bowler
Spin bowlers are constantly getting extra help on the Colombo pitch. Due to which Sri Lanka is entering the field with 5 spin bowlers. But the Indian team is not relying on spin bowling and is playing with its traditional bowling line. The team has a spin bowler like Riyan Parag on the bench, who also bowled well in the T20 series, but Shivam Dubey is being given a chance in his place. At the same time, Shivam Dubey has proved to be a complete failure in the series so far.
Improvement in bowling
There was a time in the second ODI when India restricted the host Sri Lanka to 136 runs in 35 overs. The bowlers also took 6 wickets. But after this, the lower order batsmen of Sri Lanka took the team's score to 240 runs. The same happened in the first match, when the host team scored 230 runs at 142 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Indian bowlers will have to stop the lower order batsmen of Sri Lanka from scoring runs at all costs, so that Sri Lanka can be stopped on a small score.
